'74 Temperature Guage Problems

Guest

The temperature gauge on my '74 reads just at or below the red zone on the gauge. The previous owner mentioned that he had done some work to the dash and a short occurred. He took the car to the shop, they replaced most everything that was affected, but the temp gauge now reads high whereas before the incident it read normal. I suspect it's the in-line resistor. Any thoughts? Does anyone know what the nominal resistance for the gauge (across the coil) and the temp sender unit is on a '74. Thanks!! Where's the temp sending unit on this thing?
